day 19

Light at the end of the tunnel. Talk is moving to how we come out of lockdown from Level 4 to Level 3 and what this will look like. The 'naysayers' heads are rising, those who say we went to hard too long. In NZ as of today, we have 1366 cases of Covid 19 and 9 deaths. That's a good place to be. Our numbers of new infections should soon be so low that contact tracing and closed borders will allow a 'version of returning to normal life.' Undoubtedly the economy will take a massive hit, which is to be expected and is the next challenge.
Term 2 starts for schools tomorrow with our first foray into online learning. Teachers have done much thinking and preparation. It will be the strangest start to a new term in my teaching career - in fact, it will be history-making.
